Ultrabook Pertama yang Penutupnya Dilindungi Gorilla Glass 3

Transformer Book hybrid dari Asus dikabarkan baru saja selesai diproses dari bagian review dan ujicoba, namun hal ini tidaklah menghentikan Asus untuk mengungkap produk baru yang membuat anda merogoh kocek lebih dalam. Salah satu produk tersebut adalah Zenbook Infinity, ultrabook pertama yang menggunakan Corning Gorilla Glass 3 untuk melindungi penutup laptop tipis tersebut. Generasi terbaru Gorilla Glass ini dikabarkan akan melindungi bagian luar penutup laptop dan keyboard yang berada di sekelilingnya. Ultrabook ini akan memiliki ketebalan hanya 15.5mm saja, yang berarti 14% lebih tipis jika dibandingkan dengan Zenbook sebelumnya.

Dikabarkan Zenbook Infinity akan diungkap pada acara Computex 2013 yang akan diadakan di Taipei dalam beberapa minggu ke depan. Asus mengatakan bahwa Zenbook Infinity ini akan dirilis pada Q3 tahun 2013 mendatang.

ASUS Zenbook Infinity - the World's First Ultrabook with a Lid made from Corning Gorilla Glass 3 - to Debut at Computex

Incredible performance and outstanding durability in an ultra-slim and elegant design

London, United Kingdom (20th May, 2013) - ASUS today announced that the new Zenbook Infinity Ultrabook™ will debut at Computex 2013. Zenbook Infinity features a beautiful new design that fuses glass and aluminium for a wonderfully slim profile with outstanding resilience. Thinner than the previous model, Zenbook Infinity makes innovative use of new Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3 with Native Damage Resistance™ on the lid and keyboard surround for sleek and durable style.

Slim, stylish and scratch-resistant
ASUS Zenbook Infinity raises the bar for notebook design with a seemingly impossible combination of elegance and durability. With a maximum thickness of just 15.5mm, Zenbook Infinity is an incredible 14% thinner than the previous generation Zenbook. By incorporating Corning Gorilla Glass 3 with Native Damage Resistance (NDR) on the outer lid and keyboard surround, Zenbook Infinity attains a dazzling first for notebook design - a sheer, high-gloss, finish that's highly resistant to scuff marks and scratches.
New Corning Gorilla Glass 3 has the same durability and thinness as Gorilla Glass 2, but uses Corning's proprietary NDR glass composition for superior scratch resistance, reduced scratch visibility and improved toughness. Corning Gorilla Glass 3 with NDR has three times the scratch resistance of Gorilla Glass 2, and gives a 40% reduction in the number of highly visible scratches with a 40% improvement in retained strength if a deep scratch does occur.
Zenbook Infinity features the pattern of fine concentric circles that's an ASUS Zenbook hallmark, but gains a beautifully clean and smooth exterior that's more resistant to the harsh realities of mobile life than notebooks that use more traditional materials.
